what is purpose of using reactor in substations...

Answer / sadam gaad

reactor maintain the voltage, limiting short circuit
current, reducing capacitive MVAR, if you use it in series
it works as limiting short circuit current n if in parrallel
then it reduce ferranti effect.

Is This Answer Correct ?    8 Yes 2 No

Answer / arvind thakur

SHUNT REACTOR IS USED IN EHV TRANSMISSION LINE TO CONTROL VOLTAGE DURING LOW LOAD PERIOD.IT IS ALSO USED FOR COMPENSATE THE SHUNT CAPACITOR OF TRANSMISSION LINE DURING LOW LOAD PERIOD...

Is This Answer Correct ?    6 Yes 1 No

what is purpose of using reactor in substations...

Answer / r.mukesh

Shunt reactors are designed for connection to the ends of high voltage transmission lines or to
high-voltage cables for the purpose of controlling the line voltage by absorbing reactive power.

Is This Answer Correct ?    5 Yes 1 No

1 Answers   Havells,


When we change the tap position of 10MVA transformer it suddenly tripped with Out of step indication and also with Static differential relay indication, Transformer Bucholz relay indn and Low oil level indication. Before 1 week the same problem occured by changing the tap position. but at that time only oltc bucholz relay activated. After testing the TxR Relay team & PET team cant find any solid reason. The values are ok also. So plz answer wat's the reason for this incident? anybody plz help.
